“In the Miami area, we have seen first hand the damage dramatic weather can cause,” said Villager President Kelley Schild. “Looking to the future, we wanted to take a deep dive into how we can protect our communities.”
“Homeowners and business owners will benefit from learning how to plan and prepare to save places that make our lives safe and worthwhile for the future,” said Becky Roper Matkov, Villagers’ Forum Chairman. “We have brought together the area’s leading experts to teach us how.”
